My wife Beth and I have lived in many towns and different states in our lives. One factor common to the different locations is that each community had people who stepped forward and went above and beyond. We in Suffield have many past examples of such people: Lester Smith, Sam Fuller and Janet Banks to name a few. Recently I met with Bill Hawkins, Suffield Director of Planning and Development. Though not a resident he works tirelessly to better our community.
My husband Scott loves nature and especially enjoys watching birds.
I cannot remember a time when Scott and I did not have a dog or two in our lives.
We are a town of mosaics. Together we make up a diverse quilt of ideas, beliefs, expectations and priorities.
When you text or send emails, you’re contributing to climate change.
My father-in-law was a probate judge, funny storyteller and a beloved mentor.
I am writing to draw attention to a situation in town that most residents are unaware of.
I knew this day would come. I prepared for it. I got advice about it. Through the years I gave all my attention, care and love. I appreciated the time together, tried not to take it for granted.
